those look like very nice and expensive wheels but not the right one for that E60 M5...

At least they know how to park! Great looking 5-er.

Yea. I think the older headlights are a lot more aggressive for the M3.

I do agree Charlie, the flared fenders definitely need to be there, I would've just liked to see it with the facelift headlights and kidney grilles...

Either way, both cars are seksy!

They did that.....it's a ZHP right!?

I counter this vote and vote Pre-facelift M3 is by far the best.

[cakM3]

Imo its just the m3 front end is starting to look outdated however it still does look aggressive.

I disagree... compared to the newer offerings...I still prefer the look of my ///M over them any day of the week! Everything about how BMW designed the E46 chassis including the interior....perfection! :thumbsup

There are other's who feel as you do Vas and say that the look is outdated....that all depends on the person :) Whenever I pull my ///M to the dealer, everyone comes out to check it out....just because the car is older does not mean it is dated...


...I counter this vote and vote Pre-facelift M3 is by far the best.

Obviously, I agree with Ry here...:thumbsup

[Vas]

So what you are saying is you prefer the e46 design pre-face lift ?

[cakM3]

Vas,

What I am saying is that I prefer the E46 M3 styling just the way it is. For the ///M, the styling is perfect. Very aggressive styling in front to match its "raw" character. It's perfect! :thumbsup It has that more muscular brute personality about it....

The ZHP being a facelift is also perfect for that car. I think that the facelift styling more suits the character of the ZHP....a more refined look and feel. :thumbsup Of course adding my OEM M3 side mirrors only adds to the sportiness that is ZHP :biggrin

That's what I'm saying Vas, and since I happen to own both I can say this about both my cars ;)

Agreed. The M3 looks better in it's "pre-facelift" design, and the zhp looks good in it's facelift design.

The M3 technically got a face-lift in 2003.5, they received 19 inch wheels, LED tails, and a strut bar.

Johal,

The bootlid also got a minor change with "facelift" ///Ms. The trunk handle is extended with facelift ///Ms and 19" wheels were an option. My 2004 came with 18" wheels.

Got it. Were the 19's introduced in 2003.5?

[cakM3]

I think so but can't confirm....I know with 2004's and later you could get 19's... wish mine came with factory 19's (I kinda like them)

I'll vote facelift also, but now to get this thread back on track:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/jhermes/P1060120.jpg

got the car back from the shop earlier, $100 deductible for new RR hub bearings. Nick couldn't figure out what the misfire was, everything (coils, wires, fuel pump, etc.) tested fine. He thinks maybe there was something in the gas line that worked it's way through the system. I guess I only ran the car for maybe 30 seconds when it happened and just drove the E21 that night.

Later this week/weekend I will be installing all the new front end suspension parts on the E21 with the exception of the two bushings that hold the swaybar on, those should be here Monday but they are easy to replace on their own. I'm thinking next week I will be able to have the E21 in good enough shape where I can start working on the E46 and dealing with the many parts that have been piling up in my garage (oil change, diff fluid change, coolant system, underdrive pulleys, M3 autodim mirror, etc.).

I screwed up on two though but luckily I can just peal it off. DO NOT spray when the paint is cold. It sprays all chunky like throw up if you do. Keep the paint inside at room temperature or even leave the can half submerged in warm/hot water before spraying. The warmer it is, the finer mist it sprays which helps give uniformity.

This is the outcome of cold Plastidip:

I just went to Home Depot and bought 4 cans and a spray handle. Total cost was about 30 bucks.

I am thinking about adding the silver metalizer or the pearl in the future though.

I just got the new Gold Metalizer plastidip to put overtop the black...so it'll go from dark bronze up to gold depending on how many coats. I'm going for a nice dark bronze look.

My dad said I wouldn't be able to make it up his driveway so I had to try. I made it about 99% up before it shoved me to where the car is in the pic. This is the peak of his driveway and it's probably 3/4 of a mile long to this point. The rest of the driveway is around the top and goes back down a bit on the other side of the mountain.

This is the furthest I got so far being stuck wise. I usually make it to where you can see in the background before losing my momentum and traction.

Towhooks FTW! Even though my dads chevy duramax 4x4 was having a hard time. I had to aid quite a bit on my end in the car for it to get out, otherwise it wasn't going anywhere.

[Oli77]

! no winter tires?

[nike001]

No, Winter tires indeed. Just a bit worn. But that's only a little bit of the hill. It's much more behind the picture.

I made it further than a few 4x4 trucks/SUVs made it too.

Snow is awesome! :) I've been having a blast driving my sister's A4 in frigid conditions with ice and snow on the ground 80% of the time. Winter tires make a big difference! My car is at home alone just staying warm in the garage. It hasn't got any snow action yet. But my winter tires on on their 3rd season...so it's not the best for deep snow anymore.

[nike001]

Oh god. We can't even make it up hills like that with winters? Oh well looks like ill have to get used to it.

The picture doesn't show the severity of it. This is a mountain that i went up, not a little hill. That part of the driveway is at least a half mile uphill. Like I said before, many 4x4s didn't make it up this.

[Ryans323i]

Oh god. We can't even make it up hills like that with winters? Oh well looks like ill have to get used to it.

I made it up a mountain that had a nice layer of black ice with my previous cheap allseasons. I didn't realize it was ice, and was wondering why my traction light was coming on. It was the stopping on the back down side of the mountain that didn't happen. Never experienced that feeling before in my life, brake pedal clunking and pushing my foot off. I ran three stop signs and coasted into the nearest gas station. And that's where the car stayed til the ice melted.

I think all cars do pretty well if the ground is flat, but once there's elevation changes it's more in the driver's hands. If you're really curious, ask David (Mtnman) about it. We live in a mountainous area, nothing is flat.

[Rovert]

Aggressive winter tires that can handle heavy sloppy snow and ice would make a RWD BMW shine better than most FWD and trucks if the snow isn't as high as the undercarriage. Being a photographer it's very hard to take pictures of the severity of hills without proper angles which are usually very time consuming to get into place to take the pics. Our cars can handle decently steep inclines when straight. Through in a corner and it makes it that much harder. When going straight 100% of your traction goes into moving forward which is what we need in a RWD. When we corner we might use 20% into cornering which leaves 80% for forward movement which may or may not allow you to continue forward! The next thing is.....DRIVE BACKWARDS! :) I've done that many times in certain super steep areas!! LOL The car goes right up and thanks to 50/50 weight distribution I can still turn the car while the drive wheels pull the car up! hahah. Finally I can go places where those crazy Corolla's can go. Those crazy Japanese cars are indestructible in winter driving scenarios! When you think everyone is stuck, a 1982 Accord plows right on through with all seasons!

[az3579]

My Pirelli Sottozero tires got me through ice and packed snow without incident today. That's right, RWD baby.
I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the hell people with AWD cars were crawling. Absolutely unnecessary in those areas. Had to get around them, they were that friggin' slow.

Nobody at work believes me when I say you really don't need AWD, you just need good snow tires and some skill.

They've been conditioned to believe the marketing hype. It's okay, let them walk into BMW dealerships and buy xdrive cars for no reason; it just means bmw has money to make cool cars.

[Rovert]

AWD is still better than RWD given the same driver technique, tires, and conditions. It's not fair to judge a great driver with a well prepared RWD setup versus an 'ok' driver with no setup...LOL. Driving my sister's A4 quattro in the ice and snow gives me a heck of a lot better maneuverability than my car does. I never have to worry about sidestepping the rear out dramatically and her car I can hold a sideways angle so easily while it accelerates out of the line like a bat out of cold h#ll!! Hahah.

I was just talking about clutch jobs with my buddy since my rear main seal is leaking. How much will this DIY cost you? What clutch did you get? OEM?

With RMS it was a little over $1,200 in parts before oil, filter, trans oil, trans seals (input and shifter-selector were leaking on mine) feeding a good friend (a fellow ZHP owner) a few meals and making sure he had plenty of beer. Probably close to $1,500... All OEM stuff...

I thought my RMS was leaking too, and it looked as though it was about to be, but it was actually my input shaft on the trans. My shifter-selector was leaking too, so we went ahead and replaced all 3 seals...


^Nice! Gotta love the satisfaction of doing things yourself.

I have to give some credit to my friend that helped. Without him, it would have taken me at least twice as long (if not longer), I would have spent at least another $200 in tools (quality wobble extensions are not cheap!) and I very well could have messed something expensive up (thank goodness for his experience!)...

But yes, I was up under that car nearly every step of the way, and when I took her for a ride after the job was done and she acted and felt like a brand new car again, it was quite satisfying to say the least... Thanks!

Sent from Williamsburg, VA USA

The Saturday before Christmas it took me about an hour to get the car safely up to 24" off the ground, then the Thursday following about 5 hours pulling the trans out. It was at that point that we realized we didn't have the seals for the trans, so luckily my friend is in good with a local shop, the parts were there the next morning at 10am. Probably 4 more hours that day putting it all back together, and an hour the next day getting her safely down from 24" jack stands...

That time includes running to Auto-zone, grabbing food, drinking a few beers, running to get an air compressor, borrowing some tools, etc too...

Thanks! I'm not sure I'll be able to write up a DIY that easy, it was pretty tough at times, and apparently our cars can vary greatly on some things like the starter bolts. Thank goodness my starter is "threaded" I think we blew an hour just getting it properly aligned on a set pin and the nuts snugged up. It was frustrating at times, but its done! Hopefully she'll last another 118,000 mies with no clutch issues!



Wow, that is awesome.

I would go insane trying to change out my clutch on jack stands!

It really wasn't too bad up on 24" jack stands. We were able to sit upright in the driveshaft tunnel and look directly at all of the bell housing bolts. Bringing that transmission down on my chest was a little unnerving, I'm no tooth-pick, but no body builder by any means. Heaving it back up in there went easier than expected though...

No but they look fairly similar. They are Rotiform BLQ's, pretty popular in the VW/Audi scene. I didn't have too much variety in wheel choice with a 5x100 bolt pattern. They have really grown on me.

You car must hate you for driving her only 5 minutes. Any girl would! LOL

Quality vs quantity? :eeps

haha, I do sometimes miss my 30 minute commute, nice quality time with my car, but a lot of times it was packed with too much traffic, so the quality wasn't that great...

Exactly! No bumper to bumper BS!

That's great Jon. Glad you got to swing by there! Did you get over to the Zentrum?

[JupiterBMW]

I have no idea Ryan. It was about 7am and I just blasted in and out. Honestly I thought that was the zentrum, it's where all the visitor signs pointed me... Oh well, this pic is good enough....

And speaking of pics, here's another one. Stable is right, once again... Finally.

Thanks guys, it feels great to have the car again. My mind has been racing all day with mod ideas, plans, what I want to buy/sell... :biggrin I'm ridiculous, I know.

Sigh of relief. Whew, glad that's done. Correction, glad that's well done. Congrats Jon!

[Imola.ZHP]

@Jupiter, love the x3! I hope to add one to my stable when they start coming back in off-lease. Congrats on the replacement ZHP also...

[JupiterBMW]

Thanks again guys. It does feel great to have the X3 so soon. And last night the black leather went, so now I'm going to put the NB in the car before I leave, something I wasn't planning on doing. And then the alcantara can go in the trunk for storage until I come home next time. :)

Marcus, the X3 is an awesome vehicle. Very sporty, yet comfy and very utilitarian when needed...

F30 looks like a pissed off child.

[Imola.ZHP]

Yeah, I dunno about that, but wow, from that perspective the f30 doesn't look like such a boat...

Wait till you drive one. Doesn't feel like a boat even a little bit. My moms f30 328 definitely feels more 'toss-able' than my car. But my car is more stuck to the ground and will prob out corner it.

Were you getting your hair done JP? And, are BMWs a dime/dozen there? Kinda crazy there's another behind the F30.

[Rovert]

Great pics. Dalton I love that shot!

[JupiterBMW]

Yes, both of those winter shots are amazing, but I'm getting cold just looking at them...

Florida boy needs to go take some pics by the beach to offset all this snow and ice and crap... :rofl

Instagram always makes my turn signals/back up lights look completely black. I promise its not ghetto, just a light tinting...

Love that shot Dalton, the tree's look amazing...
